Curves Around the World: Thrifted

Hello Everyone!!!

Happy Monday and you know what that means, Curves Around the world! Today's theme is "thrifted" and when I was in college I thrifted a lot but I haven't gone in a really long time. But thrift shopping is something I do enjoy when I have time. 

The last time I went thrift shopping I realized how hard it is to find things in my size. When I was in college I used to go thrift shopping in LA a lot but this past year I went back again and I couldn't find anything that fit me. That's when I realized why I didn't thrift shop anymore because it can be really hard to find things. 

One of the last trips that I made thrift shopping I found this shirt that I'm wearing. I really loved the pleats and how it was double breasted but the thing is when you button it up the pleats get deformed. So the plan was I was going to get it altered but I haven't gotten to it. So I like wearing the shirt open over tanks, it gives it kind of a jacket or sweater vibe. 

Now a lot of the clothes that I thrifted back in college don't fit me anymore or I've given them away. But one thing that I still had in my closet from way back in college is this gray coach bag. One of my favorite LA thrift stores or consignment stores is called Buffalo Exchange and this is where I got this bag.

I originally got it for myself but currently it was in my moms closet because she uses it but it's OK because my mom and I usually borrow each others stuff.

So the skort, skirt plus shorts, I'm wearing is an example of something that I thought wouldn't fit but when I tried it on I was surprised it fit. I don't normally shop at cotton on but I was there with my cousin and she saw this skort and told me it was too big for her and asked if I fit and XL. I told her that it depends on the item and that I didn't think it would fit me. But she made me try it on and I was surprised that it fit and she even bought it for me too. So the moral of the story is always try it on and not to be intimidated by the size you never know if it will fit or not. 

The rule to trying thing on works when you are thrifting as well because there have been so many occasions where I thought something might be too big or too small because of the size but when I tried it on it actually fit. 

Do you like thrifting? What is one of your favorite items from thrifting?
